Hey there,
I'm new to LazyCam.  It seems like a great program.  But I only have one problem... I can't open dxf files the i create in AutoCAD.  I tried opening dxf files made from AutoCAD LT 2000 and AutoCAD 2007 but it doesn't make a difference.  I get a "MachManip MFC Application" error.  Does anybody know how to fix this or know what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you for your time!

Dre

Post your file.


Brett

Make sure you save as V12 .dxf

Hey there,
Thanks for responding to my post so quick.  I don't have any specific file that I am using.  Every file I make in AutoCAD does that.  I can still post a very simple one if it's any help.  I'm saving it as a "AutoCAD R12/LT2 DXF (*.dxf)" file. I've also tried every other different dxf files in AutoCAD LT 2000 and AutoCAD 2007.  I tried saving them as ASCII and BINARY format but none of them worked.  Well here's a simple file I did for testing.

Hi, Dre

If the earlier version of A-cad, save as 12 or 14 DXF docent fix it.

Windows can cause problems if the Hardware Acceleration is set to High, It's sorta deep in windows, do the following.

Goto Windows Start bottom left bottom corner of your Screen, click on it, Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced, Troubleshoot,

Hardware Acceleration, Set it to None or second dot.

Mine is set to Second dot and I unchecked the Enable write combining also, not sure about the write combining been-a-while since I look at

this.

Dont forget the Apply button then OK.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hey afn09556,
I tried what you said but still no luck  I tried it with "Enable write combining" checked and tried it while unchecked.  I hope we can get this to work because this program looks like a very handy tool.

Hi, Dre

Hears a DXF I now works.

Thanks, Chip

Hey afn09556,
I can't open your file in LazyCam.  It still gives the same error.

Hi, Dre

You set the Hardware Acceleration, to None or second dot, a reboot may be needed after changing give it a try.

What is the speed of your computer and Memory.

Thanks Chip

Hey afn09556,
I put the Hardware Accelaration to none and it asked me for a reboot so I did it but it still doesn't work.  Thank you for trying to help me btw.
